5 NAIA men's tennis programs in Missouri: rosters of 12 to 20, all with athletic aid, $2,279 a player in spending
Every NAIA men's tennis program in Missouri, in one list, not only the programs you have already heard of. The numbers beside each one come from the federal Equity in Athletics (EADA) survey and the College Scorecard: roster size, whether the school awards athletic aid, net price and admission rate. Each program links to its own page with the coaches, roster, spending and academics behind it.
For parents: this is the list to start from. Most athletes who could play in college are never seen because nobody knew the program existed. Seeing every option in a state, with real numbers beside each one, turns “where could my athlete play?” into a short list you can actually work.
Rosters vary widely: the middle half of these 5 programs carry anywhere from 12 to 20 players, against an NAIA median of 11. A smaller squad puts a recruit closer to the lineup; a larger one means more competition for spots and a deeper bench. Every one of them is at a school that reported athletic aid for the team's gender, about $20,710 per athlete at the median across all sports. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $2,279 per player at the median in 2025, 31% above the NAIA median of $1,746. The spread is wide: the middle half of programs spent from $479 to $2,283 per player.

Frequently asked
How many NAIA men's tennis programs are there in Missouri?
5, as of the most recent EADA survey. Level Field Combine tracks every NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA tennis program with a public page.
How many players does an NAIA men's tennis program in Missouri carry?
15 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 12 and 20. The NAIA median nationally is 11. Roster size shapes playing time: fewer players means a recruit is closer to the lineup, more means deeper competition for spots.
Which NAIA men's tennis programs in Missouri give athletic aid?
All 5 are at schools that reported athletically related aid for the team's gender. Among those that do, aid works out to about $20,710 per athlete at the median. EADA reports aid by gender for the whole athletic department, not per team, so what a tennis award covers is a question for the coach. NAIA programs may award athletic scholarships, and NAIA eligibility rules differ from the NCAA’s.
How much do NAIA men's tennis programs in Missouri spend per player?
$2,279 per player at the median in 2025, counting day-to-day operating costs such as travel, uniforms, equipment and game-day expenses (not coaching salaries or aid). That is 31% above the NAIA median of $1,746. The middle half of programs ran from $479 to $2,283.
